The allowed power is 300 W DC input power or 800 W PEP output power (CW, SSB). On 160 m, output power is limited to 26.67 W PEP, RTTY is not allowed. The 30 m band is allocated to amateur radio on secondary basis.

VHF/UHF

Use of any frequency in these bands shall be only with the prior written consent of the IMDA. Power limit on 2 m is 25 W PEP, on 70 cm 10 W (erp). Spot frequencies for 70 cm (UHF) are:
